It happened to me a couple of years ago. I was able to put the screw terminal roughly
back in place and then held a soldering gun against it until the plastic block started
to get soft. Moved it around a little and was able to re-imbed the terminal. Replaced
the fusible strip and been using it ever since, but never anymore on high speed.
Another list member a long time ago was able to replace it with an automatic reset
circuit breaker, 40 amp, I think.
